Title:
ヘアマネジメント装置のための改良された加熱素子及び回路
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2007522874
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An improved method and apparatus for improving hair management devices, preferably portable devices, such as curling irons and hot air brushes by including novel heating elements and circuits. A novel elongated heat transfer hollow tube is formed of a metal that is preferable perforated with small holes and that heats and cools quickly such as copper, aluminum, or brass. The hollow tube has sufficient wall thickness for rigidity but is sufficiently thin to allow rapid heating and cooling. In addition, a novel heat source is formed with a light bulb, preferably halogen, located with said hollow tube that likewise heats and cools quickly. The light bulb is removable and replaceable in case of damage. A unique circuit automatically applies full power to the unit until it reaches the desired temperature and then allows a control circuit to automatically reduce the power applied to a value sufficient only to maintain the desired temperature. In the preferred embodiment, a bimetallic switch is coupled in parallel with the control circuit to allow full power to be applied to the heating source to obtain rapid heating of the hollow tube and then allows the control circuit to automatically reduce the power to an amount sufficient only to maintain the desired temperature of the hollow tube.
